Sometimes it's just that simple

The cigarette lighter in my Tracker has never worked since I've owned it. My brother looked at it some time ago and said it was too difficult to replace, so he'd wire a new one in for me sometime. Sunday he was looking at it again after he'd fixed my broken door handle. This time he took the additional step of removing the radio in addition to the trim, ashtray, and climate control panel. This greatly expanded his view of the cigarette lighter setup. He then said "Tell me it's not that easy." The lighter was unplugged. Sure enough, he connected the power back to it, and it worked. No idea why it was ever unplugged, but yep, it was that simple.
